DAY ONE
8:15 a.m.
I can not sleep a lot past eight in the morning anymore, even in the event i do want to, very after a couple of mins of lying-in sleep, We give-up and begin my personal early morning while S continues resting. We grab my time ingesting coffee, watering my flowers, and checking out before We begin mixing our daily smoothies â countless sound to wake him upwards.
We’ve stayed with each other for pretty much a-year . 5 now after dating for per year before that. S and that I happened to be buddies back home in Atlanta for some decades before we began asleep with each other. Eventually he gone to live in Athens to start out work as a bike auto mechanic, and neither folks wanted a long-distance commitment, so we made an effort to stay without one another. I happened to be thus in love, unashamedly, but I attempted to eliminate that experience, and dated a man in one of my undergrad poetry courses while also asleep with a 38-year-old guy We bartended with. A lot of enjoyment. But each time S was at town I fell all of them both completely. He was the actual only real man i needed. Later, when he questioned me to carry out the thing and move to Athens, we pretended I had to develop time for you to contemplate my response. But the two of us understood I would state yes.
10:30 a.m.
We drink smoothies with each other and plan all of our time. A few of the friends survive a farm, and they are holding a bonfire and cookout today. I moved to Athens during COVID, and it is been difficult to fulfill folks outside S’s set of buddies, but these farm functions are often filled up with the greatest queer women in Athens, and in addition we both know how vital truly for my situation to obtain my very own number of men and women.
I became in a lasting relationship with a female some time ago and had certain hookups then. But all my closest friends are lesbians, so the actual fact that I’m in a relationship with a person today I still believe connected with that part of myself.
S starts having fun with my personal boobs while we talk. Our chair is really small it’s difficult not to ever get distracted sitting together with one another. I grind on his thigh and then we write out; their quads tend to be strong from several years of riding bikes.

I’m stressed as we pull-up into farm, both from an overall lack of exercise interacting over the past year and from the pressure We apply my self in order to make friends. S has additionally been sober for four years now. Getting with him, i am essentially straightedge, too, and often i really do skip exactly how simple its feeling funny and pleasant once I’m inebriated. But it seems important to be S’s sober friend in a crowd of men and women obtaining drunk and large.
